Chapter 41
Chapter 41
After Lin langtian returned to the mansion, Lin Qingqian tried to find out the situation in the mansion just in case.
Lin langtian has seven concubines besides his wife Xu. The only concubines that gave birth to children are the deceased mother and the third wife Wen.
Lin langtian doted on Wen. He didn't even rest in Xu's house on the day he came back, but went to Wen's courtyard.
Wen is only the daughter of a small magistrate, and Xu is the direct daughter of the current Taifu.
"It's really strange that there are many concubines in the house, and no one can give birth to a son. However, it's not surprising to think about it. The struggle between women in the backyard doesn't know how dark it is, and no one can tell the twists and turns..." Lin Qingqian, who has seen countless palace fights, sighed.
With emotion, autumn and winter came in.
"Here comes the lady, miss."
Is Xu here?
Lin Qingqian frowned slightly. He didn't have time to think about it. He saw that Xu was supported by a servant girl and came slowly.
Lin Qingqian got up and saluted: "mother."
Xu smiled gently and helped Lin Qingqian up, "get up."
"Thank you, mother. I don't know if my mother came to Qingqian hospital today, but something happened?"
Xu nodded. "Yes, come here today. It's really something. The Empress Dowager's birthday will be three days later. All the family members of the prime minister's house will enter the palace. The prime minister ordered everyone to prepare. No, I see you have grown a lot taller recently. Your old clothes must not fit. I asked someone to make some for you."
Xu Shi looked at lily with several sets of colorful clothes. At a glance, the workmanship and materials were good.
Lin Qingqian sneered in his heart, but he was very moved on his face. He replied happily, "Qingqian, thank you for your mother."
"Well, you should prepare well these days."
"Qingqing will."
Xu asked Lin Qingqian again for a while before he led Lily away.
As soon as Xu left, he touched the clothes sent in spring and summer and said, "Miss, the clothes sent by Madam are really beautiful. Look at this light yellow dress. The embroidery on the skirt is made by the top embroidery mother. When you enter the palace, you will be very beautiful."
Lin Qingqian looked at the several sets of clothes he had sent. Finally, he chose one of the most insignificant light blue skirts and said, "I wore this one on the day I entered the palace."
Chunxia looked surprised, "ah? Why did you choose this one, miss? Aren't the others more beautiful?"
"Leave it alone and listen to me."
Spring and summer looked puzzled, but they still gave a "Oh".
Lin Qingqian waved his hand and asked them to step down.
Outside the door, spring and summer asked autumn and winter, "what are you thinking? It's hard to enter the palace. Shouldn't you wear more beautiful?"
"We listen to the young lady. The young lady must have her reason for doing so."
Spring and summer think about it, so they don't tangle.
In the wing room.
Lin Qingqian poured a cup of tea and took a sip. A flash of light flashed in his eyes. He thought: sure enough, Xu's family is not simple.
Most of the clothes and skirts sent here are gorgeous in color. You should know which identity of the queen, concubine and princess in the palace is not more noble than that of the common woman in your prime minister's house. If you wear such conspicuous clothes and skirts to steal the limelight, I'm afraid you don't become the target of public criticism.
And this gorgeous dress is mixed with an inconspicuous one. Even if something happens later, others can't make mistakes in Xu's head mother. After all, she didn't choose to wear the dress.
Girls of Lin Qingqian's age always like bright colors.
This step is really a good calculation!
Maybe it's in her calculation to make the original become vicious, arrogant and domineering. A notorious miss of the prime minister's house can better set off another miss of the prime minister's house, can't it?
……
Hedge garden.
Today, Lin Qingqian came to see Gu Changgeng again. After entering the house and sitting down, Gu Changgeng sat in front of the case and read a book. She looked Yanyan and lay down next to her.
Gu Changgeng squinted at her. Seeing her sad face, he seemed to have something on his mind.
A moment later, he put down his book and asked, "why haven't you talked since I came here today? What's the matter?"
Lin Qingqian raised his eyes and said, "I'm thinking about entering the palace on the Empress Dowager's birthday two days later."
"Into the palace?"
"Yes, Chunxia told me that there are many rules in the imperial palace. You should be careful at every step, or you will be beheaded if you make a mistake. I'm afraid..."
Although he didn't say that in spring and summer, Lin Qingqian, who watched many palace fights, was really upset, especially the ill intentioned Xu family.
Gu Changgeng said in a deep voice, "your servant girl is right. Be careful when entering the palace. Don't offend noble people, but it's not so terrible. Just be honest."
"By the way, brother Changgeng, will you also enter the palace?"
Gu Changgeng thought, "I should."
After all, no matter how bad it is, he is still the general's orphan with outstanding achievements. He will enter the palace in previous years.
Lin Qingqian's eyes brightened, "that's just when we enter the palace. If there's something wrong, brother Changgeng can remind me."
"I can't help you. If you don't understand court etiquette, tell the old lady that she will let mammy teach you."
Lin Qingqian blinked. "Why can't you help? Isn't brother Changgeng going into the palace together?"
Even if men and women sit at separate seats, they must be opposite. It should not be difficult to give a slight reminder in their eyes.
Gu Changgeng pursed his lips and said nothing, with a dark look.
He didn't say. Lin Qingqian didn't dare to ask any more. He smiled and changed the topic without any trace.
……
Two days later, at the door of the prime minister's house.
Seeing Lin Qingqian's figure, the old lady smiled and shouted, "Qingqian, come here."
Lin Qingqian walked over to salute, "grandmother, father, mother."
When he noticed that Xu frowned, Lin Qingqian didn't know it.
She was disappointed that she didn't wear those colorful clothes.
Lin Qingwu is dressed in a white jacket and skirt, embroidered with elegant plum blossoms. There are only a few simple ornaments on the bun and light makeup. The whole person has a gentle temperament. It can be seen that he has been carefully dressed.
The old lady looked at Lin Qingqian with satisfaction. She was well dressed and not out of line. The light blue dress made her skin white and did not lose the playfulness that a little girl should have.
"Qingqian shared a carriage with his grandmother. On the way, he just talked with his grandmother to relieve boredom."
"Yes, grandma."
The grandparents and grandchildren got on the carriage, and Xu and others got on other carriages one after another. Before Lin Qingrou got on the carriage, she looked at Lin Qingqian's direction.
After getting on the carriage, Lin Qingqian was slightly distracted.
Don't Gu Changgeng also need to enter the palace? Why didn't you see him?
"Qingqing, what do you think?"
Suddenly, Lin Qingqian said with a smile, "I think the palace will be very beautiful. I can't help looking forward to it."
The old lady smiled helplessly, "you're not the first time to enter the palace. Why do you look like you haven't entered the palace?"
Lin Qingqian's heart clattered for a moment, and his heart was guilty. "I'm forgetful. I can't remember clearly last time I entered the palace."
The old lady was not suspicious. The last time Lin Qingqian entered the palace was when he was seven or eight years old. It was normal to remember.
"The inner courtyard of the imperial palace is no better than our prime minister's house. You should be careful in your words and deeds. It's bad to collide with a noble man."
Lin Qingqian said, "Qingqian knows."
The carriage drove for a long time and stopped in front of the solemn palace gate.
After getting off the carriage, there were solemn and cold guards standing on both sides of the palace gate. Although the Imperial Palace was resplendent, the high walls gave people a depressing cold atmosphere.
